IPRRFSS empowers postgraduate students to take the lead in co-organizing the Forum, co-chairing panel sessions, and presenting their work alongside international scholars during the Postgraduate Roundtables. Our Forum cultivates a collaborative environment that encourages postgraduate students to transcend disciplinary and geographical boundaries, presenting their research and engaging with individuals from diverse cultures and communities. It also serves as a platform for staying updated on the latest international discourses concerning in education, social sciences, liberal arts, and humanities.
